'Shindig'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I love this:
We are in no way beyond the need for a woman president or a president of color -- a fact that's perhaps best illustrated by the ongoing insistence that it's an either/or proposition, as if women of color are some sort of mythical creatures.
Of course they're not. But thinking of it that way brings up Condi, for whom I would never vote in a billion years.
I think it's just the idea that because one segment of the population is discriminated against clearly means another is not is completely rediculous-because what of people who are both? Are they only affected as an African American, and not as a woman, or as a woman but not an African American.
well, yeah. Sometimes I face sexism and ableism from the same place...other times it's harder to sort out.
If you're sick of Clintons, sick of anything that reminds you of the last 20 years in American politics, and/or sick when you think about Hillary's Iraq vote, triangulation, etc., then go vote for someone else with my unequivocal blessing. But do not EVEN fucking tell me the "political moment for feminine role models" is a thing of the past when I can still count all the female politicians with national prominence ON ONE GODDAMNED HAND.
Please stick to fiction, Lorrie Moore. This op-ed demonstrates that it's your forte on so many levels.
I want to have Kate Harding's babies.
Get in line. (/Cordy)

somethings need to be repeated

again and again
Awww. There is one winner in this Cassie Edwards brouhaha: the ferrets/Defenders of Wildlife.
That's awesome! I'm still floored that her dialogue made it past editors without anyone ever saying, "this sounds like you copied it out of a reference book."
Smart Bitches is being so good to us lately:
The Collected Work of Jane Austen, Ultra-Condensed by Christina Carlson and Peter da Silva
Female Lead: I secretly love Male Lead. He must never know.
Male Lead: I secretly love Female Lead. She must never know.
(They find out.)
